Hello friends, very special train, I did it this year, the only problem was that there were two metal cars, because the Costa cars were being restored, this disappointed me a little, but well the rest was great.
I love this train, unique in Spain and with a special charm. Highly recommended for those who want to travel in a different way.
This year the steam engine that has carried it in recent years will not be released, to make this trip with a modern machine I prefer not to do it or go on a commuter train which is cheaper.
If anyone wants to see the other side of this beautiful train, in the following link there is a video taken from my son's room: http://www.change.org/es/peticiones/impacto-medioambiental-del-tren-de-la-fresa-no-es-oro-todo-lo-que-reluce
We have suffered that nightmare since 2010, since before that it left Atocha.
